OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off
The cooking surface does not need any burn-off
time. Due to the nature of the coating, DO NOT
use sharp or metallic objects on the surface.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least
5 minutes before cooking certain foods, depending
on the type of food and the cooking temperature.
Food that requires a low cooking temperature,
needs only a period of 2-3 minutes preheating.
Cooking Temperatures
‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm
up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning
food residue from the grill plates after cooking is
over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting
for extended cooking.
‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’
and ‘LOW’). Use this setting for most grilling, and
for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
‘LOW’ setting - Use this setting when cooking very
lean cuts such as sh.
These temperatures vary with outside temperature
and the amount of wind.
Barbecue Roasts Minutes
Chicken & Rare Beef
(approx.)

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new gas
barbecue is no exception. By following these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to
a gas ow obstruction which could result in a re
in and around the burner tubes.
This type of re is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your barbecue and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
If re occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and
turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the
barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner
tubes and burner ports.
Cleaning the Grill Plates
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and
let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the
grill plates. Before rst use and periodically, it is
suggested that you wash the grill plates in a mild
soap and warm water solution. You can use a
wash cloth to clean your barbecue plates.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the easy clean cooking surface is
important. Do not use metal utensils or cut food
on the cooking surface. Use only plastic cooking
utensils. Do not use pans on the cooking surface.
Do not overheat the cooking surface with the
hood down or when there is no food on the
cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue
remove and empty the drip tray after each use.
Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before
disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a
mild detergent and warm water solution.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner ame
• Sooting up of grill plates
• Burners not igniting properly
• Burners failing to remain alight
• Burners extinguished by trolley doors
• Gas valves, which are difcult to turn
Service
If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform
correctly it should not be used until serviced or
repaired. Contact place of purchase for service
information.

WARNING
Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube
should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
To avoid any are-ups, it is recommended
that the drip tray be checked and emptied
regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be
very hot during cooking. If emptied during
extended cooking extreme caution should be
taken and direct contact by hand should be
avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely
before disposing of the contents.
Should the burners extinguish for any reason,
turn off all control knobs and the cylinder gas
valve. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to
relight the appliance.
If a grease or fat re occurs, turn off all control
knobs and gas cylinder valve immediately until
the re is out.
A leak test must be carried out prior to using
the appliance for the rst time or each time
the gas cylinder is relled or each time the gas
hose and gas regulator being disconnected
from the gas cylinders or appliance.
CLEANING THE BURNER
Follow these instructions to clean
and/or replace burners.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and gas cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates and grease tray.
3. Remove screw at end of burner using a
screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from
valve openings.
CAUTION: Inspect burner for any damage (cracks
or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new
burner. Reinstall the burner, ensuring they are
located on the gas valve.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner
tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook. Run the hook
through each burner tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a exible
handle (DO NOT use a brass wire brush), run the
brush through each burner tube several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: use an air hose to
force air into the burner tube and out the air
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes
out each hole.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as
an open paper clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear
and corrosion some holes may become
enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found
replace burner.
8. Carefully ret burners, ensuring they are
located on the gas valve.
9. Replace screw at the end of burner.
10. Replace grease tray and cooking grates.
